Fla. to Probe Alleged Facebook Election Interference

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) sought a probe by State Secretary Laurel Lee (R) into alleged election interference by Facebook, the governor’s office said Monday. Responding to a Sept. 13 Wall Street Journal report, DeSantis directed Lee to investigate whether Facebook violated Florida law. “If this new report is true, Facebook has violated Florida law to put its thumb on the scale of numerous state and local races,” DeSantis said. The company didn’t comment.
